Florida State’s new head coach will make less money than its previous head coach. Mike Norvell’s contract was released today, and there are some interesting details worth noting.
The six year contract includes an annual salary beginning at $3.75 million, rising $250,000 each year until it reaches $5.25 million in year six. For comparison sake, Willie Taggart had a base salary of $5 million per year through the length of his contract. Taggart was coming from a high level Power 5 program in Oregon, however. Norvell joined FSU from Memphis, a good Group of 5 program in the American conference - but still a Group of Five school.
